CONN AH S QUAY & SHOTTON. A PLAGUE OF DOGS.—A Shotton resident Writer complaining of the intolerable nuisance 0446ed by the dogs in the district. He says ^■ariy every person owns a dog, and at night it Jø almost a. physical impossibility to get a wink of sleep owing to the howling and barking of them cms. In the daytime they run wild in Mig of a doren or moro, and it is not infre- lloent to hear of persons being bitten by them. ^attfens are rooted up wholesale, and the destruction caused is very annoying. It ie fre- quetnly aeked when are the Flintshire County Council going to enforce the collar or muzzling order, which ie in force in nearly every other town. The aggrieved residents have practically tIQ remedy when they get a bite, as they cannot 11& a rule find out who owns the dog. Perhaps the proper authorities will kindly see into this lnto!erable nuisance. THE CYCLE CARNIVAL.—"A Reader" Writes:—Much speculation is going on in ConnaJi's Quay and Shotton at the present time a* to whether there is going to be a cycle carnival this year in aid of the Shotton and Connah's Quay Sick Nursing Associations. It will be remembered that the Carnival Committee have been the means of considerably enhancmg the fuj.dii of tlui association for the past, s:x years and without these functions one fails to eoc where sufficient support will come from to "P the associations going. This time last year a Coiyi in itt-c-e was formed and everything was forking smoothly, but up to now nothing has hoeu done. No doubt the ill-advised utterances Of some of the members of the association at their annual meeting have much to do with it. It 1EI to be hoped that those responsible for the ^irupiion will try and rectify their error, and tlLai a carnival will yet be held and that all differences will be forgotten. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—The anni- versary services in connection with the Metliodist l'.I(}W Connexion Church were continued on Sunday. Mr. David Jones, of Hartsheath, occu- pied the pulpit morning and evening, there being crowded congregations. In the afternoon P.S.A. service was held, presided over by Mr. ph Hall, Mayor of Flint, who. in the course of an excellent address, said he first attended a JtJeeting in connection with that church some 50 yeara ago, and he was glad to notice the rapid ?tf'de» they had made since then.

At the norvice Miss Eva Vaughan and Mr. W. r- Williams effectively rendered the duet "Love divine." Mr. R. Edwards prosided at the- ^■"gan, and the collection amounted to 222.- Anniversary services in connection with the ^olftyn Presbyterian Church were held on ny The Rev. G. Parry Williams, M.A., of °°>rtli Wales, gave excellent addresses morning 1\nQ. evening to crowded congregations.

Committee b- we understand, completed his assessment Of the urban district of Connah's Quay, and ^any of his assessments, it is rumoured, are most '^ittJaaonable. For instance, houses which aro "^seesed at J312 in Connah'cs Quay arc only aa9ewsed at JS4 at Nori,hop Hall. It is an indis- putable fad that the property of Shotton and .h Quay is a1 higher than in any tart of the county. Why this should be many 41X5 at a loss to understand. Winter is fast Corning upon us, and nothing has yet been done to cope with the filthy roads and parapets, which 4m a standing disgrace to any civilised plaoe. I'-Plc, are compelled to pay rates. far in excess those in many fashionable towns, where they have good roads, parks, etc. If the Connah's Quay and Shotton Ratepayers' Association is not Defunct it might be asked of them what they In to do in the matter.

LADY MOSTYN & TALACRE SCHOOL I  ) Lady Mostyn, of Taiacre, has addressed the following letter to the Secretary of the Board of Education: — Sir,—I hoped to have had a communication from the Right HOII. President of the Board of Education as to how the education of the 105 children attending the Talaorc R.C. Schools is to be carried on, as the sole expense of this largo sohool other than the interest of the £ 5,000 mortgage borne by Sir Pyers Mostyn has been borne by me since January 20, 1906. The Board of Education is aware that this bur- den is thrust on me by the Flintshire Oounty Council's refusal to continue the education at the school.

FRODSHAM. I LOCAL INVENTION. The following particulars have been supplied us by Messrs. Holies and Young, Patent Agents, of 55, Chancery-lane, London, locally represented by Mr. C. W. Johnson, 2, Godstall Chambers, Chester, of a patent which has been granted to Messrs. J. J. Crosfield (Frodsham) and G. Dale (Warring- ton) ;oml. Aspirating gas, &c. Liquid is caused to flow from one vessel to another under a constant head, the apparatus chiefly being employed to aspirate gases or liquids at a uniform rate which may be measured. The vessels are such that, when connected, any fall of liquid in is accompanied by an equal rise. The suitably con- tracted exit of a nexibie pipe is attached to a cord passing over a pul'ny and connected to a float, so that liquid flows from the upper vessel under a constant head and therefore at a uniform rate, which may be measured by providing the cord with an indicator working against a graduated scale marked to give direct reading of quantities, times, or both. The apparatus is employed to aspirate gases or liquids through a pipe, and the gases, &c., may be discharged in the known manner through a sampling-pipe by means of the movable vessel which also acta as an air seal when the vessel is emptied. YOUNG MARINE'S SAD END.-Looal inhabitants will learn with regret the sad end of a young Marine named George Jones, of H.M.S. Skirmisher, which was andiorod at Swanage with a flotilla of torpedo destroyers of the Plymouth division. Deceased, who was only twenty-five years old, had been six years and six weeks in the service, and his home was at. Frodsham. It appears that last week a party of men had been on liberty for the even- ing, and the boat in which they were to return to the ship was at the Pier ready at 10 p.m. The coxswain in charge of the cutter gave them about five minutes grace, and, thinking he had all aboard, ordered the men to shove off. They had proceeded about 50 to 60 yards, when the boat was hailed by some men who had ar- rived late. The coxswain put back, and only one man got into the boat, having climbed down the piles, and while the boat was drawing near someone shouted out that a man named Jones (a Marine) was in tho water. Tliey searched for him for half an hour and returned to the ship, reporting the matter to the captain, who sent Mr. Redo (the 1st Lieutenant) with a boat's crew to search, whioh he did for an hour unsuccessfully. At daybreak another attempt was made, and the body was recovered lying on the sand in about 12 feet of water just where deceased had fallen. The body was landed and conveyed to the pier store, where it was laid, awaiting the enquiry, which was held on Thursday week at the Royal Vic- toria Hotel. before Dr. C. H. Parkinson, coroner for East Dorset. From the evidenoo of a stoker, it appeared that he and deceased went on shore together, and had several drinks of beer. They were late getting down to the pier, owing to their stopping at s, publio-bouse on their way. On their arrival at the pier the ship's boat had shoved off. He did not remem- ber wi-bother he shouted or called out that the deceased was in the water. He had a faint recollection of their going on the pier together, but everything elso was a blank.—Lieut, Rede. the 1st Lieutenant of H.M.S. Skirmisher, said dooeased bore an excellent ohara.cter.-A ver- dict, of "Acoidlontal death" was returne d -T,no interment took plaoe at Portland with full t noral botuvuai

IELLESMERE PORT & WHITBY. COLLISION IN SHIP CANAL.—On Tues- day afternoon the s.s. Kurdistan was proceeding to the coal tip in tow of two tugs when the ropes broke. The steamer drifted across the canal when she was struck by the s.s. Joseph Thompson, coming from Manchester. The s.s. Kurdistan was badly damaged and great excitement ensued, but she was safely landed on the pontoon dry dock. WINDOW SMASHING.—At an occasional court, held at Mr. Churton's office on Tuesday, before Mr. J. M. Frost, Thomas War- rington was charged with being drunk and dis- orderly, and with maliciously breaking a window of the house 14, Lime-street, Whitby, occupied by Abraham Millington, on the 12th August.— Acting-Sergeant Wilding proved the case, and Warrington was fined 5s. and costs in each case. SAD DROWNING CASE.-On Sunday after- noon, a boy named Albert Lyth, aged 2:¿ years. was missed from the S.U. boat Charlotte," His father was afraid he might have got into the canal, and commenced dragging with the boat hook and immediately brought up the body. Messrs. J. Shone and J. Andrews rendered first aid and tried artificial respiration pending the arii val of Dr. Finney, who, on arrival, pronounced life extinct. An inquest will be held. A pathetic pai t of the incident is that only a week ago the mother buried her only other child, who had died from pneumonia.

GROUSE SHOOTING OPENS. Grouse shooting opened on Monday in Scotla,nd II in pouring rain and with prospects uncertain. Owing to meteorological shortcomings late broods :tre unusually numerous, and it will be necessary td delay many shooting parties till the first week in September. On the Yorkshire moors shooting opened in cloudy and gusty weather. The Prince of Wales was out shooting at Bolton Abbey. A Matlock telegram says that grouse shooting opened with the poorest prospects of the last 10 years. The birds are few owing to the wet season. Beautiful weather prevailed throughout North Wales on Monday, and sportsmen were early on the moors. Grouse are fairly plentiful and in good condition, notwithstanding the wet season, and excellent sport was experienced. Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Col. France-Hayhurst, Sir Arthur Douglas, Mr. Myddelton (Chirk Castle), Mr. Lloyd Edwards (Trevor Hall), and Lady Storey (Nantyr Hall), are entertaining shooting parties on the Denbighshire Moors, while in Merionethshire Sir Henry Robertson, the Hon. Charles Wynn, and Mr. Lloyd Rhaggatt have parties. Lord Penrhyn's party, Col. Sanderson and other sportsmen were early astir on the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey moors. The celebrated Wynnstay moors at Ruabon, the property of Lady Williams-Wynn, which usually produce an annual bag of some 3,000 grouse, are being, as usual, shot over by Mr. Cory and his friends, but the sport will not be up to the average. Penrhyn Castle and moors are advertised for letting. Mrs. Gerald Leigh has taken Plas Tany, Bwlch, the residence of Mr. W. E. Oakley, with the accompanying Amnodd and Copper Mine bsats, for grouse, rented respectively from Colonel Lynes and Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn. Sir .Herbert Wynn will shoot over "the Irishman," a part of the Aberhirant Moor, rented by him from Sir Edmund Bulkeley, the remainder being shot over by Mr. Beard and his syndicate. The Liver- pool Corporation moors at Vyrnwy are occupied by Mr. Massie, and General Gough has also let his moor.

I A HESWALL DISCOVERY. I A ———— I FISHERMAN'S BODY FOUND. I The body of Richard Evans, a Heswall fisher- man who fell overboard and was drowned in the Dee Estuary about three weeks ago, was washed up at Dawpool on Tuesday near to where the sad fatality occurred. The body, which was in an advanced stage of decomposition, was discovered by a young lady named Hazlehursb, who was walking along the beach. INQUEST AND VERDICT. I On Wednesday afternoon Mr. J. C. Bato, the West Cheshire Coroner, held an inquest. Samuel Evans, father of the dsccased, said that ho called his son about 5 o'clock that morning, and they started together at 5.30 for the boat, which was anchored at the water's edge. There was a strong gale blowing at tbs time, and in consequence of this, and because they were somewhat later titan usual, they stopped at DawpooJ, where they had five hauls. At 10 o'clock the gale was blowing haider, and de- ceased suggested that, they should go a little further out. Shortly afterwards deceased had occasion to tlnow out the forø-end of the net, and it was whib dQing so that he slipped over- board, probably on acoount of the heavy strain on the net caused by the wind. The tide was flowing in at the time, and the boat was travel- ling at a good pace. The outside lining or combing of the deck was very much worn, so that them was practically nothing to prevent anyone from slipping overboard from the deck. His intentions were to have had now combings fitted on at too end of the present month. Tliero II were about twenty-five fathoms of rope attached to the net, and the end had not been secured. I Hs did all he possibly could in the eirounistanms to save his son, but owing to the jib sheets lx- ing entangled it was impossible to turn the boat immediately. Neither he nor any other local fisherman carried, lifebelts. Deceased was not a good swimmer.—Joseph Taylor, fisherman, of tho Mount, heswall, said that he was fishing j about a quarter of a milo distant from the boat of the last witness, when he observed there I was only one. man aboard Mr. Evans's boat. Looking again, lie saw the deceased in the water, a.nd he immediately beaded for the spot. At that time he estimated that decease d would be about forty yards from the shore. He was within a. hundred yards of the spot when the young ma.n went down in about twenty feet <xf water. Shortly after-wards deceased's cap came to the surface, and it was quite possible that the anchor from his (witness') boat, might have touched deceased. He bad not been aboard Mr. Evans's boat for several years, and could 6ay nothing in regard to the condition of the deek Ilininff.-Harry Ford. Dawpool Cot- tage, said h? saw deceased's body floating on the water from his bedroom window about 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning. He sect to Thuistaston Station for assistance, and then diaggod the body out and afterwards conveyed it to Mr. Evans's houpe.—In summing up, the Coroner said that it was evident that the father had lost control of the boat, and he oomtme»n!tit'd strongly on the fact that so few of the fisher- men were capable of swimming, and that life- bolts were not carried.—A verdict, of "Acciden- I tal drowning" was returned, and the jury drew attention to tho need1 of a mortuary in the, dis- trict.

There was I no scoring in the last period, and the Butterflies thus won. TUESDAY. I 1 uesday s play opened with further tjs in the  tournament, the first teams to meet being the I following HOOTON (B). SAIGHTOX. Cipt. Holland (1) G. Wyndham (1) E. W.

LORD ROSEBERY REVOLTS. A CONDEMNS SCOTCH LAND BILL. "I will not be a party to introducing into the healthy body politic of Scotland the poisonous bacillus of the Irish agrarian system." Passionately flinging this declaration in the face of the Govern- ment on Tuesday night, Lord Rosebery concluded in the above words one of the most remarkable orations he 1MS delivered in recent years. The cause that had drawn him from his lonely furrow was the Scotch Small Holders Bill. His speech was one long and biting attack on the Govern- ment. With high scom he pointed a literal finger of contempt at the Government. He leaned easily against the table on the Opposition side, turning now and then to raise his hand and point with ridicule at the row of Liberal peers on the Government front bench. He was a dramatic figure in a notable setting. One of the largest gatherings of peers seen for years past thronged the gilded chamber to hear him. There were rows of peeresses in the side galleries, throngs of M.P.'s in the members' galleries, and half the Cabinet in the little space where Commoners are allowed to stand in front of the throne.

I FIRE AT KINNERTON. I — jr- I ALLEGED ARSON. I On Tuesday evening, about 10.30, the Chester Fire Brigade received a message informing them of a. file having broken out at Higher Kinnerton. The brigade turned out under Capt Williamson and Lieut. Nohiett, and on arrival they found a large stack of hay well alight, the property of Mr. BleteiiJey, of the Swan Inn. Fortunately the brigade were able to save a portion of the stack, but tho damage done was estimated at about L50. Tha brigade were obliged to remain at the scene for twelve hours. It is believed that the stack was wil- fully set on fire, and an arrest kw been made. Before the Mold Justices on Wednesday, Thomas Freeman, a tramping farm labourer, stated to be a nativo of Beverley, Yorkshire, was charged in custody with an;.on.-Francis Bleteller, Swan Imi, Higher Kinnerton, said he held land at Mount Pleasant, Higher Kiu- nerton. on which was a haystack. Ho-bad. seem the prisoner in the neighbourhood for some days previously, and on the previous Ssturda.y he found him asleep at the end of the stack. Witness cleared him off, and on ttaa previous (Tuesday) morning witness' daughter refused to serve the aeoused. At 9 p.m. the same day wit- ness went to the stack and found it on fire, and the prisoner there in charge of a police offioor. The stack, which was destroyed except e por- tion two yajds square, was insured for £ 40.— Hsnry Cannon, farmer and cattle deafer, Kin- nerton Hall, said that at 9.15 on the previous night he saw the prisoner coming towards the direction of the stack. Immediately afterwards he saw a flash in the air, and turning around found the stack was on fire. He went to the stack and found the prisoner (who made qpvefral statements as to the fire) iu obarge of a man named William Roberts. The prisoner was smoking a short clay pipe when witness first met binL-Willism Roberts, colher. of Peny- mynydd, said that at 9.20 he was walking to- wards the stack, when he saw the prisoner com- ing at a trot from that direction and asking for Mr. Blcrtcthor. The accused said he did not see the fire start, but noticed people running up and down the road. Witness stopped the ac- cused, who stated he had no 'bacœ. pipe or matches. Witness detained the prisoner, who said, "I hardly know the man (Blctoh-er), but he stopped my tap." The accused gave this as a reason for not heJping to put out the firel-ne prisoner, who pleaded "not guilty," was com- mitted to the Flintshire Assizes.

MOTHERHOOD AT FLINT. I I SEVERE LECTURE FROM GUARDIANS. I At Widay's meeting of the Holywell Board of Guardians, the master of the workhouse reported that a-Flint woman named Wilson presented her- self, with two children, at the workhouse at mid- night the previous night, with an order for the admission of herself and one child. One of the children was a girl of 14, whom she had removed from her situation in Mold. The woman bad given them constant trouble. The Chairman thought it would be a kindness to the children to take them away from the woman. The Rev. Dr. Oliver: If we don't do that, it will only be raising a generation of paupers and wastrels. Mrs. Batten thought the bast plan would be to send the children abroad. Mrs. Wilson was brought before the Board, and the Chairman (Mr. J. Prince) admonished her very severely, remarking: "We've bad a lot of trouble with you, and we are pretty nearly tired of it. We are going to put someone on your track, and we are gomg to lock you up if we oan. You are a disgrace to your sex you are ruining these ¡' dear little children of yours. Y ou took one away from her situation and brought her here at twelve I at night. We are going to put the screw on. You ouffht to be ashamed of yourself." The woman promised she would "change.' The Chairman: We hope you will. Your con- duct at Mold the other night, when you took this girl from her situation, was scandalous. I should be ashamed to mention it here before the Board. You ought to have been locked up then. You may go now, but you may depend upon it we will take hold of you if you don't improve. The woman again promised to improve, and left the Boardroom.

FLINTSHIRE COUNCIL AND OVERSEERS. 4 AMICABLE ARRANGEMENT. On Wednesday a special meeting of the Flint- shire County Council waa held at Mold to deal with a ifnancial matter that has arisen between the Council and the Overseers with reference to the collection of certain rates for repayment of loans under the Education Act. In the absence of both the chairman and the vice-chairman, Mr. Thomas Parry, Mold, was voted to the chair. The Chairman said the meeting had been called to consider the following resolution, which was in his name:—" That to meet the require- ir,e,it,s of the district auditors, and to provide for the ooHectkm of certain rates due in respect of special areas for the repayment of loans in ao- oordanoe with the provisione of section 18 of the Education Act, 1902, the orders of the Council made on June 16th and 12th September, 1906, and 13th March, 1907, directing the issue of preoepts to the oveiseeirs of such areas, be varied so as to provide for the collection of the arreare under precepts to be iasued to the guardians of the unions in wliich such special are^s are situate, and that such precepts be issued acoor,dingi." The Clerk (Mr. Bromley) said the question involved a matter of something over £4OC, was of a highly technical nature, and the position taken up by Mr. H. Goodman Roberto, who repreo-nted the oveiseere, was this: That if they as a County Council insisted upon proceedings as they had thought with reference to the issue of the precepts, they would have to proceed by mandamus. Matters had been amicably ar- ranged. and it was neoeasary to pess the resolu- tion to put the matter in accordance with the terms of the arrangement. The Chairman said the question had been left to the Clerk of the Council, and the solicitor for the Overseers (Mr. H. G. Roberts) to present the matter to the Local Government Board, and he had no doubt this course would result in a satis- factory solution. The proposition was carried unanimously.
